COVID-19 Policies & Procedures
Updated June 17
We have a number of policies in place to ensure the safety of Ignite participants, staff, and faculty during this program. Stanford Ignite is following all of the guidelines the university and the GSB specifically have laid out for graduate students, as well as any additional guidelines pertaining to visitors. This page will be updated regularly as the global COVID-19 situation evolves to ensure that Ignite is fully compliant with federal, local, and university policies.
COVID-19 Policies
Testing: All participants will be asked to complete a COVID-19 rapid test on the opening day. Test kits will be provided by Stanford at no additional cost. At any point during the program, Ignite staff may require participants to take additional rapid tests based on University/county requirements and staff discretion. Rapid test kits will be provided to all participants when testing is required by the Ignite program.
Vaccination: COVID-19 vaccinations and boosters are strongly recommended for program attendees.
Masks: Face masks are strongly encouraged in classrooms but not mandatory. Individual instructors may require masks in the classroom during their sessions.
Testing Positive
If you receive a positive test result during the program or within 10 days after the end of the program:
- Complete the General COVID-19 Case Reporting Form (non-Stanford participants) or follow the steps on this page (Stanford participants).
- Notify staff. We will work with you to determine the next steps regarding isolation periods. The current policy is that you will be required to isolate for up to 10 days.
Medical Data Privacy
Please note that NovoEd, Gmail, and Slack are not considered secure portals for sharing personal medical data. Vaccine checks and other information gathering will be performed in-person and will not be recorded in a way that tracks or stores any personal medical information. Stanford Ignite will never request that you send medical data through email or similar platforms.
